1 Medical Equipment Management Plan 2015 I. Introduction, Mission Statement, and Scope The Medical Equipment Management Plan defines the mechanisms for interaction and oversight of the medical equipment used in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients. The related policies and procedures govern activities from selection and acquisition to incoming inspection and maintenance of medical equipment. The mission is to ensure that equipment used in patient care is safe, available, accurate, and affordable. The scope of this plan is Duke University Health System including Duke University Hospital, Duke PDC s, Duke DPCs, Clinical Laboratories, Duke Regional Hospital and Duke Raleigh Hospital. II. Organization of Participants The administration and oversight of medical equipment management is the responsibility of Clinical Engineering. Management of medical device incidents is the primary responsibility of Risk Management. III. IV. Medical Equipment Management The primary policies for the management of medical equipment are found at Additional information pertaining to the management of medical equipment can also be found in the Clinical Engineering User s Resource guide located on the above website. Medical Equipment Management Activities (EC and EC ) Managing medical equipment risks (EC ) 1. The hospital solicits input from individuals who operate and service equipment when it selects and acquires medical equipment. Clinical Engineering provides guidance and direction in the selection of medical equipment through active involvement in the Duke University Health System capital process. Clinical Engineering also works with department managers and Procurement Services to assist in the selection and purchase of non-capital medical equipment. During this process, input is solicited from individuals who operate equipment. Clinical Engineering works with departments to provide average life expectancy, inventory, and information on equipment that has had extensive repairs or is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Duke University Health System also subscribes to MD Buyline research agency specializing in medical equipment. This service provides valuable research and comparative tools for use in requesting medical equipment. Clinical Engineering assists in the incoming inspection process and acts as a resource to the hospital s education department to ensure users are trained prior to the use of the equipment. 2. The hospital maintains a written inventory of all medical equipment. The hospital maintains a database documenting all equipment identified in the medical equipment management plan. This includes hospital owned equipment as well as loaner, demo, physicianowned, etc. Identification of medical equipment with clinical alarm systems is also completed during the initial inspection process to ensure proper placement in the medical equipment management program. Procurement Services requests that all medical equipment be delivered to Clinical Engineering, with the exception of large installed pieces, e.g., Radiology rooms, Lab Analyzers. At this time, Clinical
2 Engineering will also assess the piece of equipment or system for inclusion in the equipment management program using risk-based criteria. Preventive and Corrective histories as well as equipment inventory, risk level, high risk information are kept in the equipment database. Equipment incident histories with patient information are kept in the Safety Reporting System. (SRS) 3. The hospital identifies high-risk medical equipment on the inventory for which there is a risk of serious injury or death to a patient or staff member should the equipment fail. All equipment is evaluated at the time of entry into the medical equipment database using a risk ranking system. The risk ranking is comprised of a score based on equipment functions, failure risk (potential harm to patient or staff with failure), maintenance requirements and equipment history. Equipment falling into the highest tier is placed into the high-risk category. This category includes life-support equipment. 4. The hospital identifies the activities and associated frequencies, in writing, for maintaining, inspecting, and testing all medical equipment on the inventory. These activities and associated frequencies are in accordance with manufacturers recommendations or with strategies of an alternative equipment maintenance (AEM) program. Note: The strategies of an AEM program must not reduce the safety of equipment and must be based on accepted standards of practice. * Footnote *: An example of standards for a medical equipment program is the American National Standards Institute/Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation handbook ANSI/AAMI EQ56: 2013, Recommended Practice for a Medical Equipment Management Program. All equipment included in the medical equipment management program will receive scheduled maintenance and testing based on manufacturer s recommendations unless otherwise identified for inclusion into the alternative equipment maintenance (AEM) program. The record of this schedule will be included in our database management system. Items included in the AEM will be recommended by Clinical Engineering and be based on records provided by the hospital s contractors, information made public by nationally recognized sources, or records of the hospital s experience over time. Items recommended for inclusion to the AEM will be approved by the Environment of Care committee. 5. The hospital s activities and frequencies for inspecting, testing, and maintaining the following items must be in accordance with manufacturer s recommendations: Equipment subject to federal or state law or Medicare Conditions of Participation in which inspecting, testing, and maintaining must be in accordance with the manufacturer s recommendations, or otherwise establishes more stringent requirements Medical laser devices Imaging and radiologic equipment (whether used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes) New medical equipment with insufficient maintenance history to support the use of alternative maintenance strategies DUHS will also follow manufacturer s recommendation for items that have been designated as highrisk.
3 6. A qualified individual(s) uses written criteria to support the determination whether it is safe to permit medical equipment to be maintained in an alternate manner that includes the following: How the equipment is used, including the seriousness and prevalence of harm during normal use Likely consequences of equipment failure or malfunction, including seriousness of and prevalence of harm Availability of alternative or back-up equipment in the event that equipment fails or malfunctions Incident history of identical or similar equipment Maintenance requirements of the equipment The DUHS clinical engineering leadership will be responsible for utilizing the risk ranking of equipment included in the medical equipment management program along with the availability of alternative or back-up equipment when making recommendations for including a device in the AEM program. Clinical Engineering leadership will be able to demonstrate the qualifications to make recommendations based on formal education, certification and relevant work experience. 7. The hospital identifies medical equipment on its inventory that is included in an alternative equipment maintenance program. DUHS Clinical Engineering will designate in its medical equipment database all items that have been recommended and approved by the Environment of Care committee for inclusion into the AEM program. 8. The hospital monitors and reports all incidents in which medical equipment is suspected in or attributed to the death, serious injury, or serious illness of any individual, as required by the Safe Medical Device Act of The Director of Risk Management will have the overall responsibility of implementing and managing the hospital s medical device reporting program. This includes establishing and maintaining a hospital-wide system for documenting medical device incidents, reviewing and analyzing all reportable incidents, and completing and submitting appropriate reports to outside agencies. Following an incident, DUHS personnel will attend to the injured patient or employee as appropriate and sequester all equipment involved in the incident including accessories, packaging, etc. DUHS personnel will report the incident to their immediate supervisor and notify Risk Management. The Safety Reporting System (SRS) is available for reporting medical device issues. Clinical Engineering will assist Risk Management in conducting an investigation, evaluating the safety of the device, and determining whether the device should be impounded, repaired, further investigated, or returned to service. A summary of significant medical device incidents will be reported to the appropriate committee on at least a quarterly basis. 9. The hospital has written procedures to follow when medical equipment fails, including using emergency clinical interventions and back-up equipment. Emergency clinical interventions that are necessary if a piece of medical equipment fails are established by the equipment-using department. Should a piece of medical equipment malfunction
4 or fail, hospital staff should first ensure the safety of the patient, remove the piece of equipment from service, label it, and notify Clinical Engineering through one of the methods listed below. The user establishes when and how to perform emergency clinical interventions when medical equipment fails. Backup equipment is available for many types of equipment within the user department, through loaners or spares maintained by Clinical Engineering or through such departments as: Equipment Distribution DUH Electronic Flow Control DRH Patient Care Equipment Department - DRAH The Clinical Engineering department is staffed 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM Monday through Friday at Duke University Hospital and the Duke PDCs and DPCs7:00 AM- 3:30 PM at Duke Raleigh Hospital and Duke Regional Hospital and the Clinical Labs. Emergency coverage is provided on a 24 hour, seven-day-aweek basis, for the hospitals, through use of on-call pagers. Users of medical equipment have several different methods of obtaining repair services. Users may notify Clinical Engineering of the need for service during regular rounds performed by the Clinical Engineering department, by calling the main shop phone number, by bringing the piece of equipment to the Clinical Engineering department, by entering a request on the Clinical Engineering web portal- include website link, or by calling the oncall pager. The Clinical Equipment User s Resource Guide contains valuable information specific to equipment backup and can be found at The hospital inspects, tests, and maintains medical equipment (EC ) 1. Before initial use and after major repairs or upgrades of medical equipment on the medical equipment inventory, the hospital performs safety, operational, and functional checks. Clinical Engineering is notified by Procurement Services, Materials Management, or user departments when equipment is received into the hospital. Clinical Engineering performs an initial inspection including testing of clinical alarms and an electrical safety inspection (where applicable) in accordance with all applicable policies and procedures before initial use. Information from these inspections are electronically documented and entered into the equipment management database. Clinical Engineering also performs safety, operational, and functional checks after major repairs or upgrades and these records are also maintained in the equipment management database. 2. The hospital inspects, tests, and maintains all high-risk equipment. These activities are documented. Clinical Engineering documents all work performed on all high-risk equipment included in the medical equipment inventory plan in accordance with all applicable policies and procedures. Information included on the work order includes at a minimum: the asset ID (CE# or serial number), a description of problem, the department, technician performing the work, a description of the repair or maintenance action, and the time spent on the action. 3. The hospital inspects, tests, and maintains non-high risk equipment identified on the medical equipment inventory. These activities are documented. Clinical Engineering documents all work performed on non -high-risk equipment included in the medical equipment inventory plan in accordance with all applicable policies and procedures. Information included on the work order includes at a minimum: the asset ID (CE# or serial number), a description of problem, the department, technician performing the work, a description of the repair or maintenance action, and the time spent on the action.
